Singers who successfully transition into acting are the exception to the rule. Whitney Houston started her film career with the blockbuster The Bodyguard, and used her success to get a greenlight for Waiting To Exhale, which pioneered a wave of black ensemble films. Whitney also formed her production company, BrownHouse, which produced multicultural hits like Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, and film series like The Princess Diaries and The Cheetah Girls.
